Gone are the days when a mass-produced chocolate Advent calendar can excite me leading up to Christmas and now I find there is a world of creative versions awaiting our discovery. You can buy or make one focused on beer, Lego, Kiehls skin care, whiskey, makeup, and even stitch markers. So, it seems like a natural fit to have one filled with woolly goodness too! Here are a few Advent Calendars for Knitters that I have noticed and admired online:

Of course, you can also make your own. I have never done that and not sure I would, but I do it for my son. It went great last year. I bought a 23+ Duplo (Miles from Tomorrow) or Lego kit and separate it out into Advent calendar bags, with the instructions in the middle of the month and a blind bag on the final day to switch it up.

I love knitting, sewing, baking, and upcycling, making things with my sons. Originally hailing from the Washington DC area, I reside in Cork, Ireland. Read more of what I've written and my work in content marketing here.
